no rye though. Is rye really such a misfits in the whisky family? A whisky that is that odd member of the family you only see on a few specific occasions?

[@theoptimisticmetalhead7787]

What I love about seeing master distillers pick (mostly) easily obtained stuff is that it's a healthy unavoidable reminder that, SOMETIMES, not always but sometimes, popular stuff is popular for a reason.

Straight up LOL'ed at "MOM AND DAD, YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARDS!" Thank you.

[@sukottora]

I used to live a short walk from Glenfarclas distillery and would often take visiting friends on tours of the place and walk home through the woods. When I drink their 12, I always get a hint of tobacco and oak, which is ironic because the Glenfarclas tasting room is panelled in oak they recovered from the smoking-room of a pre-war ocean liner. I like the 12 but I think the 21 is excellent. That's more Seville oranges and a walk through the woods. Talking of Speyside, one to watch out for is Ballindalloch which will come online in a couple of years. It is a single estate distillery 2 miles from Glenfarclas and less than a mile from Cragganmore (another excellent distillery). I hear lots of very good things about the place and the quality of the spirit is excellent. Anyway, I digress. I'm new to the channel and really enjoying it. Sláinte!

[@jeremiahschumacher7943]

I've watched many of your videos. I love how respectful you are to the people who distill such great whiskeys and how the whole experience feels like a learning event. I learn more about whiskey every time I watch your channel.

[@hulkslayer626]

What a pleasant surprise! I go back to the original every once in a while, and that's what I thought I clicked, only to find out there is now an episode 2!! 🤩

[@marcwhiskey]

Saw the tube sock and clicked before I even read what the episode was about

[@WhiskeyTribe]

You are wise and your choices are correct.

[@cardinalcopium5088]

I got a sock that stands up like that on its own

[@uhhhuhyeah]

Talnua! So glad more and more people are seeing the wonderful whiskey they are producing. I'm going to enjoy how easy it is to get their special releases because it won't stay that way.

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

I love every time you do this. Hope a part 3 comes eventually

[@matthewsawczyn6592]

Emma!! 😭 Glad she's still close by

[@tannerevans3056]

Agreed on the Talnua. One of my faves from the Bastard’s Ball a few weeks back.

[@reikoshea]

I moved from Texas to Colorado this year. It really is wild how good the Colorado single malt scene is. Only thing that would make it better is if Talnua could get some distribution down where I'm at. Thankfully it's only an hour drive to the distillery.

[@SanskarWagley]

Wasn’t familiar with Taluna, now I’m intrigued

[@jamesnewman6518]

I'm hoping they can get wide distribution. I absolutely adored their whiskey.

[@sweetazzmofo]

Check out The Burns Pub & Restaurant. Amazing Whiskey bar.

[@bryceolson8603]

Talnua is absolutely amazing!!

[@AdamHickstadamhicks]

Hopefully you’ve tried Deerhammer’s single malt. It’s one of my all time favorites

[@CharlesOffdensen]

10:35 I am not too sensitive for the sulphur, and I therefore I like Glenfarclas 12, 15 and so on. Another distillery that has affordable age-statement sherry bombs is Glengoyne.

[@michaelb1761]

My first Scotch was Laphroaig 10 a few years ago. Before that the only whiskey I had was Wild Turkey 101 and Woodford Double Oak. I absolutely loved the aroma and the taste of the Laphroaig. It was so different from anything I had ever had before. I still prefer 10 to any other Laphroaig, and I think it is the best value in a whiskey that I have ever had (I will say that Uigeadail and the Bruchladdich whiskeys that I've had have been better tasting to me but not a better value).

[@gangaskan2255]

i dont know what my first one was, as it was givin to me in a shot glass, but the last one i has was glenfidich 12 yr that i really liked.

[@FluffyMugiLand]

one of my first whiskey was if i recall it correctly a laphroaig 12. but just the peat and smoke remind me of ireland when i visit my brother there and friends. still love it to this day.

[@heronwhisky]

Emma's segment was very wholesome... thanks mom and dad

[@lyetts]

11:30 Rather than distilling hemp, I've thought before about using some of the dry, waste material (stalks and stems) from production to burn to dry and smoke the grains for a whiskey instead of peat or wood. Worked on a hemp farm before and they would just burn all the waste material at the end in a big burn pile and the smell would be great.

[@Daddy_420p]

I love your channel as someone who works around a lot of alcohol your channel has helped me get a lot of my palette built I’m personally a fan of single malt scotch’s 😁

[@bobhabsolute4995]

Glenfarclas is my Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde whisky. I love the Christmas cake flavors but it could be very winey and the alcohol could become the primary note even at 40%. By the comments I heard, I think you were lucky to have a good bottle and when that happened, it’s wonderful. The Stranahan offers you the opportunity to experiment with oxydation. I remember a bottle I had, I think it was a virgin oak cask, that I drank over a year. At the time passed, the most amazing banana flavor grew. That whisky is really well done and aged with beauty. As for the Laphroiag 10 yo CS, just pour me a dram… Yes… Just a wee bit more… There you are. 😁

[@ianlange8108]

I've had all of these whisk(e)ies, and I have to say... Emma's pick is the correct one. I do appreciate Glenfarclas, but I'd probably go for the 15 or the 17 over the 12 far and away. The 12 is totally doable, but the 17 is going to make you say "Holy shit, this distillery is waaaay underrated." Stagg Jr. is definitely the best bourbon on this list...

[@PinkyPowers]

I signed up for Crowd Cow. This sounds like something I could really get behind.

[@rjt135]

Jonathan picking Stagg Jr makes so much sense to me. That was the first, as Daniel called it "Wall of Flavor", I really nerded out on. Now Harbinger is a mainstay in my cabinet.

[@Erik_T_Thompson]

My favorite from this and a bottle that is ever present on my shelf is the Stranahan's, though I prefer the cask strength. I get such an amazing mocha flavor on the palate. I am glad to see that this bottle made on here. Going to have to go out and find some Talnua next.

[@DustinPoile]

I love you guys. seriously though I stopped drinking whiskey for awhile I still bought it and added to my collection so I've a lot to choose from and drink but no one I know drinks just whiskey always mix it with this or that so they don't taste the whiskey (drink what ya like but don't mix a whiskey that's hundo) so I tend to just drink at 3 am while watching your videos so I drink with ya at least. I appreciate your show and entertainment I hope pray and wish for the success of all your endeavors yall deserve it.

[@kevinruble6858]

Recently purchased Laphroaig 10 cask strength. Definitely my favorite of all Laphroaigs 😉

[@belac48621]

Emma’s love of Laphroaig got me into peated scotch. Still on the very beginning of my whisky adventure, but I am now a huuuuuuuge (boondocks saints reference) fan of the peat.

[@groberti]

Try out Ardbeg, Bowmore, Caol Ila, Lagavulin if you can. I think that all are much better than Laphroaig

[@GenerationDoomsDay]

I don't even drink whiskey but I always find myself back watching more.

[@The_Hipster_Cow]

Anyone else find it ironic that Daniel, the man who has notoriously rebuked and refused all questions about what his top whisky is, is now going around demanding distillers tell them what theirs are.

[@WhiskeyTribe]

his top whisky is Longmorn 16. didn't hear it from me though.

[@jesusreyes8154]

He mentioned it on the whiskey vault/ bank safe entrance episode

[@chriscontreraz2482]

I was on a United flight and ordered my first glenfarclas dram. It surprised me how much I liked it. I assumed because I could get it on the flight it would suck. I didn’t at all. I am a fan now.

[@0katmandude0]

[@eastindiaV]

Yeah, you can ferment cannabis leaves. There's an guy in India who ferments Bud.... I think the fermentation process decarboxylates the cannabis (hemp) and makes it orally active.

[@BINGBONGHOTDOG]

SoNo brewery in CT uses hemp seed although it’s not technically whiskey bc of the mash bill

[@kellywellington7122]

My feelings about Laphroaig are that its nose is like the mink-oil boot waterproofing...very creosote-like, per Lapsang Souchong tea. So, I'm obviously not a typical Islay Scotch drinker. The Highland Park whiskies, particularly the Einar, are more to my tastes when it comes to peat smoke. Lighter and later. But, I still keep a bottle of Laphroig in the cabinet, along with a sampling of Talisker Storm, for those who prefer the peatier tipples.

[@helomech74]

Yes you can distill hemp. MB Roland released a limited run of a Hemp Whiskey and it was pretty damn good.

[@wmlovell1390]
